STRANGE FREAK
Reported From the Coast c
Old Virginia
A Child Born With Its Heart Out
side of Its Body Lives for
Sixteen Days
An infant livlnl Ih
l hours with its hearts entirely expose
reposing upon the outside of the tiny
body and performing Its function In
plain view of more than a score of
people wno came to behold the reo
matknblc trek of nature is the phe
nomenon that has astonished the
physicians and physiologists here
nbouts says a telegram from Cap
Charles Va
A few weeks ngo there was born to
Captain and Mrs William 1C Owens
of Northhampton county Va Ii
daughterIt that had come
It was the first chlhlthat
to brighten the lives of the oyster
man and his wife In all respect
wave two the tiny bit ol fetulnitywa
a perfect specimen of bibyhood
t One of the defects however was
fatal The heart Instead of being In the
place where nature Intended it to he
was on the outside of the left breast
And there in full view of all who
chose to observe it performed Its
functions id days before the little life
begun under such extraordinary con
ditions way snuffed out
The second strange feature of tin
case was that the left arm was fixed
to the body nature seeming to take
that method of protecting the vita
organ from a collision with the arm
which would necessarily be fatal
t Dr Goode of Cape Charles attend
ed the mother and child He says he
can offer no explanation of the phe
nomenon It is merely a fantasy of
nature and he believes there Is no
similar case on record He says tin
heart was carefully examined and
measured and was found to be a trifli
above the normal size for the infant
Just below the exposed organ there
the side
was a email hole through
The heart had evidently worked itt
way through before reaching the
growth It showed at birth because
the cavity was not sufficiently large
to admit of the heart being replaced
where nature intended it to do lU
work even were It possible to perform
b
i I such an operation
The child was never dressed as
clothing would have Interfered with
the action of the heart and every pos
sible effort was male to prolong the
life of the little one
The mother has her own theory re
garding the case She says a few
months before the child was born she
was with her husland on one of his
fishing trips A sudden storm arose
and a boat near theirs bjcame partly
swamped Captain Owens went to
the rescue of the imperiled craft As
411 his boat neared the sinking sloop he
hurled a line far above the tossing
waves to fishermen In the other boat
The deck lurched under his feet and
he was thrown violently forward His
wife was looking on in agonized sus
pense ljr an Instance she thought
her husband had gone overboard into
the sra
liMy heart seemed to burst right up
into my throat she rays In telling
the story
The neighbors of the Owenses ao
cept this os n logical explanation but
J the medical men smile at it
It Is apparent rays the Joctor
that while the body of the child was
undergoing formation In Its earlier
stages the heart became entangled
with something that drew it to the
outside of the chest There it remain
ed and grew with the gradual devel
opment of the other parts at the body
Being a heavy organ Its own weight I
held it out while the flesh and cuticle
beneath it slowly closed
A Sustaining Diet
These are the enervating days
4when as somebody has said men
4 drop by the sunstroke as If the Day
of Fire had dawned They are fraught
with danger to people whose systems
are poorly sustained and this leals
us to say in the interest of the less
robust of onr readers that the full ef
fect of Hoods Sarsaparllla Is such as
to suggest the propriety of callln
this medicine something besides a
blood purifier and tonlcsiY a sui
taming diet It makes It much easier
to bear the heat assures refreshing
sleep and will without any doubt
avert much sickness at this time of
year

KENTUCKY AT ST LOUIS I
Played But Little Part in the
II
Convention that Ground
Out Nominees
The Kentucky aftermath of the Den
ocratlc convention is the dark brow
taste left by the Beckham boom
Events now show that the glorious
Reckham boom was merely an ad
verting scheme concocted to let the
convention know that Kentucky was
there and that Beckham is Govern
or Had it not been for this move
ment Kentucky would have playe
absolutely no part in the convention
The Kentucky delegates could not
get even one State to pledge for Beck I
ham The pigmy proportions of the I
Beckham boom evoked the smile
I
and the sarcasms of delegates trot
other States Kentuckys delegate
had been planning to leave for Louis
vllle at S oclock Saturday night but
tht unexpected and bewildering tele
gram in which Judge Parker an
nounced himself a gold standard mar
and which threw the convention Into
onsternatlon necessitated a change
of plans and to a man the Kentuck
Ians surrendered their plan and reo
naiad over In the dleck arge fo thei
lutlesParker
Parker sentiment in the Kentuck
delegation was from the first of a
lukewarm nature Now that an op
portunlty has been afforded for crltl
lsm they have joined those who
think that the lesson has been taught
that It Is a dangerous practice to nom
Inate a man whose principles are un
known and unpronounced
A murmur of dlapproval at the an
itouncement of the Parker telegran
sped thrugh the Keutucky delegatloi
earlier than It did throght any other
Ollle James did not neglect to an
lounce in his loudest voice that Ken
tucky would go 100000 Republican
If the convention acquiesced in the
Parker position Kentucky voted
along with the majority but did It
without heart and without much In
nard protest The off Bryan senti
ment is still alive and regardless oC
how they voted it is cettin that the
o not like Parker and do like Bryar

To the Farmers
My dear farmer friends and citizens
of Ohio county About eighteen
mouths ago It dawned upon the mined
of one man in the United States that
the American Farmers condition
from a financial standpoint might be
made better than it exists to day
The man referred to is Mr J A Ever
ett of Indianapolis and in order to
help the men who create the wealth
he has perfected an oaganization
known as the American Society of
Equltywlth headquartersat the above
named city
In organizing the farmers of the
land and country it is not the inten I
tion to put the price on farm products
so high that the poor man cannot
touch them as some would have you j
believe but the object is to have a
regular price for everything produced
on the farm I
The time has come when we as far I
mers will have to cooperate If we
wish to continue in business not
I
simply to be nore enlightened on the
subject of farming but necessity de I
mands that we hind ourselves to I
gether In order to secure a more just I
and equitable price for our products
and to put ourselves on aa equal footing
i
ing with every other business from
the Chicago bootblack to the Stand i
ard oil magnate
Before we can get ourselves In shape I
to handle our product we will first
have to be organized by school dis
trlcts then by precincts then by I
j
county and so on Under the present I
i
system of marketing our crops we i
are under the direct control of a set of
merciless and bloodsucking Chicago
gamblers whose every object Is to dic
tate to uswhat we shall receive for i
our stuff Every man that bought
I
a binder this year bought it from a
combine It matters not what com
